Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Barking, fridge and freezer disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 45% of Barking's 14,541 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in IG11 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Under-counter, full-height or American-style — that alone sets the price, no visit needed to quote.
Step 2
The degassing fee is already inside the figure; nothing is added once the facility processes the unit.
Step 3
Next-day is standard across every borough; same-day is often available for a single unit.
Step 4
Unit is kept upright wherever possible to avoid disturbing the compressor oil and refrigerant lines.
Step 5
Taken to an approved WEEE facility where the refrigerant is recovered before scrapping, with the transfer note emailed to you.
Why choose us
One or two crew depending on access; American-style and full-height units on an upper floor with no lift are booked as a two-person job as standard. Town-centre one-way loop with timed loading; riverside blocks need booked lifts.
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Barking (District, Hammersmith & City, c2c) is the nearest station, so a IG11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in IG11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in IG11, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Barking (District, Hammersmith & City, c2c) rather than assumed from a map.
Refrigerant-containing appliances are classed as WEEE and controlled under the Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations and the F-Gas Regulations — the gas must be recovered by a certified technician before the unit is crushed or scrapped, and we handle that step at an approved facility rather than leaving it to the tip.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under-counter fridge or freezer | £45 | 20–30 min | Smaller units still need the same degassing process, so the price floor reflects the facility charge rather than the size. |
| Full-height fridge or fridge-freezer | £60 | 20–30 min | Priced per unit for collection plus the WEEE facility's per-item gate fee for degassing and recycling. |
| American-style or larger fridge-freezer | £85 | 30–45 min | Extra crew time for the size and weight through a doorway, plus a higher refrigerant charge on some larger units. |
| Chest or upright freezer | £55 | 20–30 min | Same F-gas recovery step as a fridge, priced per unit against the approved facility's rate. |
| Wine cooler or drinks fridge | £40 | 15–20 min | Smaller refrigerant charge than a full fridge, but still requires the same certified recovery step before scrapping. |
| Second unit on the same visit | £30 each | Added to visit | One collection, one degassing trip to the facility — each extra unit avoids a second call-out charge. |

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →

Working in Barking
Census 2021 puts Barking at 14,541 households with a median age of 32.1. The mainly Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 55% houses and 45% flats need different handling in IG11.
31% of households rent privately and 45% own, which is why fridge and freezer disposal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Barking is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in IG11, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Barking (District, Hammersmith & City, c2c) rather than assumed from a map.
Anyone who knows Barking knows the pattern near Barking Abbey ruins and the Curfew Tower: town square, abbey ruins and a riverside district growing at Barking Riverside. We plan the IG11 visit around it. Barking is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Town-centre one-way loop with timed loading; riverside blocks need booked lifts. Nearest station is Barking (District, Hammersmith & City, c2c), and one or two crew depending on access; American-style and full-height units on an upper floor with no lift are booked as a two-person job as standard.

Under-counter fridge or freezer starts at £45 in Barking for Barking (IG11) addresses, with 23% one-person households here, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Unit size and the refrigerant charge set the floor price; stairs, narrow galley kitchens and integrated housings that need levering out add crew time on top on the Barking rounds — and 31% of IG11 homes being privately rented, with 24% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Barking and Dagenham, with 45% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Barking most weeks in this 45% flats neighbourhood, with 24% social-rented stock nearby.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Barking (District, Hammersmith & City, c2c), with Barking Abbey ruins and the Curfew Tower a few streets away.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 45% flats neighbourhood. With 45% of Barking homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Barking and Dagenham bookings — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, with 45% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Refrigerant-containing appliances are classed as WEEE and controlled under the Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations and the F-Gas Regulations — the gas must be recovered by a certified technician before the unit is crushed or scrapped on the streets near Barking Abbey ruins and the Curfew Tower, with 45% owner-occupation locally — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, and we handle that step at an approved facility rather than leaving it to the tip. That paperwork is what most Barking and Dagenham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat for Barking (IG11) addresses, with this being a short walk from Barking (District, Hammersmith & City, c2c).
Disconnecting an integrated fridge or freezer that is plumbed or wired in — that is a trade job we can refer you for; Commercial catering refrigeration and cold rooms, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes; Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open on the Barking rounds — and Barking Abbey ruins and the Curfew Tower a few streets away, with Barking and Dagenham parking rules in play, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Barking IG11 price you agree is the price you pay on IG11 jobs, with 45% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 31% of Barking privately rented and 45% owner-occupied, roughly half the IG11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near Barking Abbey ruins and the Curfew Tower — and 45% of homes here being flats, with 55% of Barking homes being houses.
